DESIGN NOTES

Early on in his career (at first level), Angus was caught unarmed by a gang of ruffians intent on robbing and killing him, he called upon his devil-god Baalzebul for help. Miraculously enough, a fell hand burst forth from the ground with a black longsword in it. Angus took the sword and then defeated the gang. However, the sword is cursed. Mechanically, it is non-magical. However, it is cursed so that it is the only weapon he can use, teleporting itself into his hand whenever he attempts a weapon attack. I've given it a minor magic effect to reflect its fell origin and appearance; Advantage on CHA (Intimidation) rolls.

DESCRIPTION
Obbinjar is very much the strong, silent type. He is a convert to the worship of Baalzebul and a member of his Satanic Order. He believes that Might Makes Right and that the Strong should rule over the Weak. He prefers to take the most direct action in conflict, but is not rash. He is a survivor and succeeds through his toughness and force of will.

DESIGN NOTES
In the original campaign, he started his career adventuring with Eric and Paladino the werewolf assassin. Eric died when they set fire to a town and Paladino from when they fought a band of goblins armed with silver weapons. But as always, Obbinjar survived and thrived.

In this world, they all live. Obbinjar is a Saxon warrior from a satanic order of knights, and leads an expeditionary force of those knights against the Kingdom of Falkirk on the island Albion. He is accompanied by his evil chaplain Angus the Black and his henchmen.

His name is an homage to our high-school social-sciences teacher and advisor to our Strategy & Tactics Club, Mr. Obmascher (who was definitely not evil!).

Project FALKIRK

 

PROJECT FALKIRK

We started out playing D&D when I was a freshman in HS, and my brother was in fifth grade. The year was 1979. My brother was our DM for the next four years, and he ran two D&D campaigns. The first was based around the city-state of Cuh, or maybe Cos. Towards the end of that campaign, he situated it on an island landmass not-too-dissimilar from Ireland. The second campaign, and our longest-running one, was an evil campaign set in a vaguely Anglo-Saxon world.

It's local lord was King Gary (hence the Gygax pictorial homage above). I'm lousy at creating maps, so I tend to work with what's already available. Say, like our planet Earth. So my Falkirk is based o a fairly skewed, Dark Age -themed, European milieu. I've renamed and moved around some location names to fit my own personal aesthetic. This is not without some literary precedent, though. It is my bespoke / homage campaign that harkens back to those HS days when we played D&D in the basement and populated with the Legacy characters we used to play. I've alredy done a fair amount of world-building for it.

So I'll be pushing through updates, sharing some of that content as I move forward o the project.

Rules Clarification: Heroic Inspiration

Heroic Inspiration

One interesting feature of the new Player's Handbook for D&D 2024 is how much of the core rules and changes are in its glossary. One key example of this were the changes made to Heroic Inspiration in the new edition.

I learned about the change reading the Arcane Eye blog, as I do from time to time. I had assumed it was the same. It isn't. But as with most changes in this edition, I thought it was improved.

PHB 2014
"If you have inspiration, you can expend it when you make an attack roll, saving throw, or ability check. Spending your inspiration gives you advantage on that roll. Additionally, if you have inspiration, you can reward another player for good roleplaying, clever thinking, or simply doing something exciting in the game. When another player character does something that really contributes to the story in a fun and interesting way, you can give up your inspiration to give that character inspiration." (emphasis mine)

PHB 2024
"If you (a player character) have Heroic Inspiration, you can expend it to reroll any die immediately after rolling it, and you must use the new roll. If you gain Heroic Inspiration but already have it, it's lost unless you give it to a player who lacks it." (emphasis mine)

What this change does is move it from situational to consequential. Players should never again feel like they are wasting their Inspiration. Deciding to reroll the D20 after your roll is really impactful. Also, because it doesn't technically create Advantage, it can now be used in tandem with Advantage!

All of these changes encourage players to use their inspiration during normal gameplay, instead of holding on to that D20 for fear of wasting it. It's never wasted, and it helps to have at lest one or more players voided so that you can give them your earned inspiration. All good for their use, as far as I'm concerned.

DM'S GUILD: RRAKKMA module

 

DDIA-MORD Rrakkma (5e)

I found this on DM's Guild yesterday and just had to buy it. If you are on D&D Beyond you will come across material they released as a limited extra. And you say "Cool!" and then click on it to find that it is no longer available for purchase.

It's such a cool idea! A third faction of Gith, -yankis and -zerais unified to battle their hereditary enemies, the Mindflayers, instead of each other. The players get to play mid- to high- level Githyanki and Githzerai. So good, that I'm going to run as an event for our Summer Reading Program. What I hope is that Wizards of the Coast will do more of this. I hate to see the waste of great materials becoming unavailable for whatever commercial reasons for the very players that sustain the hobby and the industry. Bravo WOTC!  And. We. Want. More! --LM

Languages of Greyhawk: COMMON Language Family

 

COMMON Language Family
(Real World Inspiration: presumably Modern English and related languages)

Common: Hybrid language. Often called the "Over-King's Common Tongue." While centuries old, it is still the newest language spoken in Flanaess. Trade tongue of Flanaess.
Middle Common: Parent language to modern Common. Itself an admixture of Old Oeridian and Ancient Baklunish.

Nyrondese: Dialect with High Oeridian influences. Spoken mostly by insular peasants and trade folk around Nyrond. Believed to be used due to mistrust of non-Nyrondese peoples.

Slangs: Varous cants, argot and jargon -- such as Thieves', Beggar's, and Assassin's cants and the Guild jargons of Greyhawk are based on Common.

SCRIPTS
Common Alphabet: Default alphabet.
Pictographic: Pictographs and Icons correlating to words or phrases in Common. Designed to facilitate, commerce and diplomacy. Not likely to fund many things beyond the practical -- such as poetry, medical treatises or technical treatises -- written in it.

--CKW

Rules: Knowing a language from within the same family group can, depending how closely related they are, grant comparative proficiency or rudimentary knowledge of the related languages.

DESCRIPTION

Gormadoc is a freelance thief of non-descript appearance. He is cautious about making friends and talks little, as he doesn't want to draw the attention of the local Thieves' Guild. He absolutely prefers the company of other Halflings, whether adventuring or not. When adventuring, he will always avoid directly engaging in melee, if at all possible. His present ambition is to see (and possibly buy) an elephant. If news comes to him of such a chance, he will track down the clues to their ultimate conclusion.

--CKW

DESIGN NOTES
Gormadoc is the typical Halfling character for the period. A hobbit of the Tolkien persuasion, an admixture of Frodo / Samwise. Nothing too remarkable here.

Review: Obojima

 

OBOJIMA

Rating: 💥💥💥💥 I like it!

Obojima is a new D&D setting based on the Studio Ghibli and Zelda -type aesthetic. It takes place on a mysteriously abandoned island that once in its ancient days was like our 1980s.

The tone is light and cheery, a departure from the grimdark feel of a lot of settings being put out now. Each class has its own whimsical subtype: e.g, Barbarian (Belly Brewer), Bard (College of Masks), Warlock (The Lantern), Wizard (Origami Mage), etc. The content is 2014, but easily updated to 2024. Three mini-adventures are included with it.

I'm going to run it for Summer Reading, and  plan on playtesting the scenario I'll be running with my online gaming group during June. Hence all the pre-gens I'm creating for it right now.

RATING: I LIKE IT!
